The stylish, exuberant, and remarkably sweet confession of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s is back in print in this new edition that includes an afterword on the author's last 15 years of adventures. As soon as she graduated from high school, Pamela Des Barres headed for the Sunset Strip, where she knocked on rock stars' backstage doors and immersed herself in the drugs, danger, and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. Over the next 10 years she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. She travelled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa. As a member of the GTO's, a girl group masterminded by Frank Zappa, she was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music.

Certainly worth a read - particularly if you are interested in the rock musicans of the late 60's, early 70's - but not nearly as 'spicy' as i thought it would be...
I had a great deal of trouble following the text, which seemed to be rambling on with various 'hippie' terms that I found difficult to comprehend. Disappointing.
This is a highly entertaining book! At some points shocking, fascinating insight of the backstage,back of a limousine world. Kiss and tells of some very high profile rnr -some scary fetishes. Reading this book is akin to sitting in a bar getting drunk with a friend who is spilling all, so you lean closer and listen eagerly. You also feel a bit sorry for her - she is obviously not dumb - imagine what life could have held for her should she have chosen a different path (or like classical music??????)
